RuntimeError "The OAuth client was deleted"

I am trying to use gcsfs on a new system. I am invoking it as follows

import gcsfs
fs = gcsfs.GCSFileSystem(project='pangeo-181919', token=None)

I get the following error, which I really don’t understand or know how to recover from. Any advice would be appreciated. This is on a remote server where I have no gloud utilities installed. The python version is 3.5…don’t know if that matters.

Is there a reliable way to check whether the CLI is able to call webbrowser.open? This is convenient for local access.

How convenient? In my terminal I just click on the link and a browser opens. I suppose that this may depend on terminal choice though.

Docs are now correct, so I’ll close.
